Bright and Happy Room: DIY Projects for a Fun Bedroom
Win over avid accessorizers with this series.
These volumes contain affordable and straightforward-seeming bedroom-makeover craft projects--such as a driftwood jewelry hanger ([cf2]Glam[cf1]) and washi tape frames ([cf2]Bright[cf1])--designed to "help you develop your own personal style and make your room into a...space that celebrates you." DIY-ers, particularly those with girly-girl tastes, are likely to find inspiration in the colorful, cleanly designed pages.
Chief Joseph
An additional selection for libraries serving primary grades.
These starter biographies offer brief descriptions (with one to three sentences per page) about important Native American figures; historical art and photos as well as contemporary scenic photos accompany the sparse texts. Only very cursory details about each subject is offered, but the series may serve as an adequate introduction for younger readers. Lists of quick stats and key dates are appended. Glos., ind.
Fish and Fowl: Easy and Awesome Sandwiches for Kids
Sandwiches are good stepping stones to "real" cooking, and these books make them fun. However, librarians may want to check out Deering and Lentz's Sandwiches!, which compiles many of the recipes featured here into a single volume.
Piles of widely varied sandwich ideas await young "sandwich savants" in these quirky cookbooks. Themed by filling type, each volume's recipes are kid-friendly and use fairly common ingredients kids may find laying around the kitchen. Sandwich facts and tips (in unfortunately tiny type) adorn the jam-packed pages; cartoony illustrations make the sandwiches look tasty.
Angel Sharks in Action
Useful if not especially exciting options on high-demand topics.
Each series volume contains four short sections of facts about a particular shark species, focusing on physical features, life cycles, and eating habits. The final two pages contain an anatomy diagram and details about the shark's relationship with people. Captioned color photographs on brightly colored pages support the text and feature plenty of ferocious open mouths without being too gory. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
Extreme Earthquakes and Tsunamis
The eye-catching layouts and short bursts of information make these perfect for casual browsing and sharing among friends.
These books explore natural disasters in short passages of attention-grabbing (if sensationalized like the series title) text illustrated with colorful photographs and digital renderings. Misleading terminology and some unclear illustrations may lead to confusion. Each volume is similarly organized, with final spreads dedicated to speculation about future natural disasters and interesting related facts. Timeline. Ind.
Before John F. Kennedy Was President
An interesting premise but flawed in execution. Select as needed.
3D Printing at School and Makerspaces
Make room for this seminal guide for high school technology teachers and students.
Vladimir Putin
Recommended high-interest reading for light research and budding political scientists.
Some Kids Are Blind: A 4D Book
A wise choice for libraries needing to update their most basic informational books for emergent readers.
